> What's worse, people are treating them as authoritative

Because in people's experience, LLMs are often correct.

You are right LLMs are not authoritative, but people trust it exactly because they often do produce correct answers.

The coffee machine makes the whole setup even more ergonomic.
Re:Removing PGP from PyPI on Thursday October 17, 2024 @09:58PM (#41875722)
I am curious why we still need PyPI to hold packages: it may be better to install from github.

Github provides much better integrated experience: source code, issues, docs, etc.

Really enjoyed this. A good introduction on (the REAL) cryptography.

Keyboard manufacturers must like this, double revenue!
Actually I myself cloned ChatSecure iOS, built it, and played it for a while. It's a nice app with elegant interface yet lacks push notification. If you plan to improve it, I would be happy to be a beta tester :-)

p.s. So honest is this app to explicitly state that I need to keep it foreground to receive new message from XMPP server.

Sure, push notification needs a central server. But guys, we so badly need a mobile IM that meets similar security standards as this project. Do it, and the world will honor you.

Should the central server be the only missing component of a reliable, secure-paranoid, mobile IM system, I would be happy donating some dollars.

Great work, but without mobile app & push notification it's just another IM over Tor.
